Darnold has got a good environment to start off his career

Jets probably are the happiest bunch of all the teams that drafted a QB in this year's draft. When the Jets traded up to the third overall pick back in March, they probably didn't have Sam Darnold on their draft board.

Everyone thought Darnold would be long gone by the time the Jets pick. But to everyone's surprise, Browns took Mayfield number 1 overall and Giants stayed put and took the best player in the draft running back Saquan Barkley, leaving Darnold on the board for the Jets to pick up.

Jets struck the gold here. Darnold has all the traits that the NFL teams covet; size, arm strength, accuracy, mobility.

Jets have a plethora of quarterbacks in their room, but Darnold should not have any problem beating them out to be the starter week one.

With a seasoned veteran in Josh McCown as his mentor and backup, Darnold couldn't have asked for a better team and environment to start his NFL career.
